9807745 Schimmelmann This ESH project will examine fine-grained laminae derived from floods in sediment cores from the Santa Barbara Basin, as a tracer of extreme precipitation periods during the last 5000 years. Sediment analysis including X-radiography, particle size distribution and clay mineralogy will be used to distinguish flood deposits from distal turbidites. Radiocarbon dating will be used to produce a chronology of the flood events, and the resulting record will be compared with other regional climate records, such as tree-ring indices, to interpret the long-term record of climate change in southern California at annual, decadal, and century-scale resolution.

9807745施梅尔曼这个ESH项目将研究来自圣巴巴拉盆地沉积物岩芯中洪水产生的细粒薄片，作为过去5000年极端降雨期的示踪物。沉积物分析，包括X-射线照相、粒度分布和粘土矿物学，将用于区分洪水沉积和远端浊积岩。放射性碳测年将被用来产生洪水事件的年表，所产生的记录将与其他区域气候记录，如树木年轮指数进行比较，以解释加州南部气候变化的年度、十年和百年尺度的长期记录。
